Weszt

Don’t get the wrong idea – I’ll be living there. Already am, as a matter of fact, but recording is still on hold while we search for a more permanent residence. Excited to be here and with all the energy of Southern California, I’d be surprised if that all doesn’t have an influence on the music.

However, not all is wine and roses. U-Haul got robbed during our move and both Weszt-era Guild Jumbo 12-strings were stolen along with a Variax which we used to duplicate the sitar and other studio only sounds. A lot of love and history in those acoustics and a terrible way to close a chapter. I try not to think about the loss. Still doesn’t seem real. We will try to replace them, but how can you replace things like that? At least my bass and Fender Strat were in the other car.

So for now, I’ll be focusing mostly on lyrics, new song ideas, and getting used to Los Angeles. Big change from Corvallis, Oregon, I assure you, but a good one. I’m more than thrilled to be close to rock bands again. Ready to rejoin them.

That’s about it for now.
